Few Heed Call of Leftist Leaders To Demonstrate Matt Struggle , Seen Wednesday ' Tokyo-fllPD-The government began final action today to put the new U.S.-Japanese se curity treaty into etlect, ignor ing dwindling protest demon (trations by its fanatic anti American foes.

Earlier today, the pro-government majority in Japan's "Senate" had approved changes in domestic law re quired by the treaty. . . Anger Registered . The opposition Socialists, who , did not learn of the upper-house session until it was over, registered their fu tile anger by kicking the door of the legislative chamber. Kishi and Tsuruhei Malsu no, president of the upper house, left by a side exit to avoid the threat of physical attack by the frustrated So cialists, i . Parliamentary ratification of the treaty was completed automatically at midnight Sat urday, when 30 days had pass ed after its ratification by the House of Representatives without action by the upper house.

Durno was the prin cipal speaker at a joint meet ing of the Jackson County club, Oregon Federation of Republican Women, and the Federation board of directors, in Medford at noon today. The congressional candidate said, "I am not entirely against federal aid to educa tion, since some emergency could arise where It might be justified, but we simply must get federal spending back to a reasonable and sound basis. As Thomas Jefferson said al most 200 years ago, 'To pre serve our Independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.' That statement holds true today, more than ever before.

A communique Issued by the rebel Algerian provisional government said Premier Fer hat Abbas personally would lead a peace delegation to Paris. The statement, replying to a peace appeal issued by de Gaulle last week, stressed the rebels still were dissatisfied with certain aspects of his pledge of self-determination for Algeria. First Major Break Nevertheless, the positive reply appeared to spell the first major break in a war that numerous times has left France tottering on the edge of political, economic and social collapse. In Pans, official sources said de Gaulle had been in formed beforehand of the con tents of the rebel reply and considered it "not negative." It currently is under study, the sources said.

Court Upholds Investigation of Negro Complaints Ruling Clears Way To Guarantee Vote Washington -WPH- The Su preme Court today struck down lower court rulings that prevented the Civil Rights Commission from investigat ing Negro complaints ot vot i n g rights violations in Shreveport, La. The 7-2 ruling cleared the way for the commission, created by the 1957 Civil Rights Act to guarantee Ne gro rights in the South, to re sume its inquiries. It has been marking time since last July pending a final decision on the matter by the high court. Dissenters were Justices Hugo L. Black and William O. Douglas. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote the majority opinion, which represented a major milestone in the long standing fight between the southern authorities and fed eral officials over the civil rights issue. Negroes Restored Vote Today's was the fourth civil rights case to be decided by the high court this term. On Feb. 29 the court reversed a lower court ruling that the Civil Rights Act is unconsti tutional and thus cleared the way for more lawsuits by the Justice Department on behalf of voteless Negroes. In the second opinion the same day, the court ordered 1,377 Negroes restored to the voting rolls of Louisiana. The third case - from Ala bama - posed the question of whether the department may sue a slate as an entity in stead of state officials. This issue petered out because the new civil rights law passed earlier this year authorizes such suits. The Shreveport ruling was a highlight of a busy court session in which tne justices sought to clear up their docket before adjourning for the summer. Next Monday was regarded as the probable adjournment day. Postpone Union Decision The court also: Ordered more arguments next term on the issue of whether union dues may be used for political purposes over the objections of work ers who were compelled to join the union.

IKE PLACES WREATH President Eisen hower places a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier's Monument at VI ROK Corps, north of Seoul, and only 15 miles Public Hearing Tomorrow Night On County Budget A public hearing will be held on the Jackson county budget for the new fiscal year at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Jack son county courthouse audi torium. The proposed total is $4,427,586.72. Among items which may be discussed will be a request by County Judge Earl Miller to set aside $500 for study of a possible home rule type of county government. Another item which may be discussed is the capital im provements sinking fund. The levying board has allowed $150,000 for the 1960-61 fiscal year compared to $65,000 for the current fiscal year. Judge Miller noted that the bulk of the county revenue comes from O and C timber sales. (The county does not now rely on taxes for t inane. ing its operations.) However, the county budget committee worked on the budget as if the county had to make a tax levy to meet expenses. Another Item which may come up for discussion is ad ditional, help for the Jackson county sheriff's office. Sher iff Joe Walsh has repeatedly asked for additional person nel. The budget committee has increased the proposed alloca tion for the child guidance clinic from $2,000 to $4,000. This was to allow for the pos sibility of establishing a fam ily counseling program in con nection with the clinic al though not earmarked specifi cally for that. The parks and recreation budget has been increased from $12,000 to $20,000 to allow for expanded county activity in this program. Cou pled with that are tentative plans to use people eligible for general assistance money from the welfare department on a labor force for work on such parks and recreation projects and perhaps other county work. A total of $3,600 has been allocated for this in the new budget.

Exact terms of the agreement have yet to be worked out. Dr. Elmo Stevenson, presi dent of the college, presented the offer to the county court this morning during a meet ing of representatives of the Jacksonville city council, the biskiyou Pioneer Sites foun dation, Southern Oregon His torical Society and the Jack son county parks and recre ation commission. The two acres offered now extends down to the Jackson- ville highway and Includes primarily the garden area around the ruins ot pioneer Photographer Peter Britt' home. Southern Oregon col lege plans to keep the timber- lands of the Britt estate and sell the timber on a sustained yield basis, Dr. Stevenson ex plained. ' The property served by a threeiourths 'inch water line , from the Jackson- vine reservoir, a water- right which would go with the two acres. Redevelopment Plan Robert Haworth, director of both Medford and Jackson county parks and recreation programs, said his group would work with the Jackson ville garden club and the Jacksonville council on a re development plan for the two acres. Fred Jones, who has been living on the property, has a contract to tear down the old Britt home and winery. But the contract docs not include the original retaining wall on the estate, the fountain, or the fish pond. The grounds, including the gardens, must be left in good condition. County Judge Earl Miller said possibly the county could use a work crew of county welfare fund recipients on the property. Tentative plans dis cussed this morning call for the county to obtain the grounds from Southern Ore gon college, develop them and turn them over to the city of Jacksonville for maintenance. Alternatives Dr. Stevenson said the col lege, which was willed the property in the Britt estate, has three alternatives. It can retain the property without the buildings to be torn down, turn the property over to Jacksonville for much less than the appraised value, or release the property to the county In return for a lease on some land on the Howard Prairie reservoir area. This lease would have to be long enough for erection of a kitch en and lodge building, the SOC president laid.

I, of Howard Prairie reservoir '..r.u,,"" would probably be the M7HXetti.' area for youth camp de- f 'JJlc?e maae " veiopmem. The water supply Is more plentiful in that area, he said. Robert Haworth, acting as Jackson county parks and recreation director, will make a survey of the amount ana quality of water available. iMller's report followed a tour of the area by members of the conuly court, Haworth, the county engineer and other interested persons. The recommended site al lows ample room for expan sion and development, is a beautiful location and setting, Miller said. A permanent garbage dis posal site for the overall res ervoir area may be the exist ing gravel quarry on Dead Indian in the future when the quarry is no longer used by county road crews, the connty judge said.
